The Lagos State Traffic Management (LASTMA) has warned operators and drivers of ‘LagosRide’ Taxi across the State to obey the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.
This is contained in a press release issued by Adebayo Taofiq, Director, Public Affairs of LASTMA.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba said the warning became very imperative to check excesses of these operators and drivers who do not usually consider the safety of other road users and their penchant for disregarding the traffic law while on the road.
In his words: “Let me state clearly that impunity of drivers of these ‘LagosRide’ Taxi driving on BRT corridors and obstructions on major roads is becoming alarming and as a responsible agency of government, we will no longer condone their recklessness as we shall continue to apply the full weight of the law on motorists found contravening by sections of the Traffic Law.”
